One Year from Destination's Debut, Carnival Opens Reservations for Shore Excursions, Cabanas and SuperVillas
MIAMI, Aug. 1, 2024 – With the opening of Celebration Key one year away, Carnival Cruise Line today unveiled details about Pearl Cove Beach Club, its exclusive retreat that will offer a premium experience for guests 18 and older. Additionally, Carnival opened reservations for shore excursions, supervillas, cabanas and daybeds for guests booked on cruises visiting Celebration Key beginning in July 2025.
Nestled in the western most point of Celebration Key, Pearl Cove Beach Club will feature a lush, secluded entry opening to views of the 11,000-square-foot private infinity pool with a large sun-shelf, water loungers and a swim-up bar. Pink-striped sun umbrellas atop comfortable sun loungers and elegant daybeds line the pool area, while a DJ will play tropical lounge music setting the tone for lounging and socializing. Just past the infinity pool is the dedicated, private beach with sun loungers, accompanied by beachside food and drink service. When looking for lunch or an afternoon snack, Pearl Cove Beach Club guests will find a well-appointed full-service restaurant with an elevated menu, bar and lounge with indoor and outdoor seating.
"Celebration Key will give our guests elevated options and experiences across its five portals and we've specifically designed Pearl Cove Beach Club as the perfect place for adults to lounge, unwind or relax in their own paradise," said Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line. "Guests booked on cruises to Celebration Key can now start planning their day as we open reservations for Pearl Cove, along with daybeds, cabanas and our unique supervillas, as well as shore excursions that celebrate the culture and beauty of Grand Bahama."
